I called Cabelas, and they did have some primers, only Large Pistol Magnum Primers. Over the phone I asked what the guy thought about using them in .45 Colt loads. He said he had no idea.
I drove out to Cabelas and bought 400 of them. ($8 per hundred) I asked the two sales guys there what they thought about using magnum primers. Nothing specific. They started to answer, but looked at each other and said they didn't know, but told me to ask the guy working over in the ammunition section.
I went over and asked the guy in the ammo section. He said he had no idea about reloading components. He said the guy who did know just left for lunch.
I can only assume they don't want to give out reloading advice, because if someone hurts themselves, they could be liable. It just seems odd that 4 different employees in the gun section, don't know anything about reloading.
They didn't even suggest I buy a reloading manual (which I have at home.)
Just very curious.
So, what do ya'll think about Large Pistol Magnum Primers in 45 Colt? Or 41 Magnum? These are the only two calibers I reload which use large pistol mag primers.
Oh, and PS: They have a very full ammo section, with prices very near "normal."
